Although the moves used by martial artists are fixed, in the hands of a master, even the same move can contain different variations.
If the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves is vast, then so be it; we can simply suppress them by force.
However, when the strength is similar, the competition involves not only foundation, combat skills, and reaction time, but also strategy.
Each change of move, the method of using true qi in the move, and the power contained therein, can make the same move produce different effects.
Any ingenious idea, if used properly, can become the key to victory.
Otherwise, why would masters bother studying martial arts? They could just focus on improving their cultivation.
Why bother finding opponents to spar with all the time?
It's true that having one trick up your sleeve can make you successful in any situation.
But if you use the same trick on the same person hundreds of times, even the freshest thing will expire. It will taste like abalone, so fresh that it's already salty. What's the point then? It's tantamount to courting death.
In Chu Qinghe's courtyard, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, in order to gain the upper hand in battle, would bury themselves in studying each other's martial arts moves every day, seeking variations in their own moves to catch their opponent off guard.
Therefore, upon seeing Yaoyue's actions, Dongfang Bubai's first thought was that Yaoyue had also developed a new method to target him during the days he was away.
On the other side, as Yaoyue circulated her true energy, the discomfort and pain in her body quickly disappeared.
However, after recovering, Yaoyue looked at Dongfang Bubai, who was also circulating his true energy and ready for battle, and a doubt appeared in her eyes.
He suddenly felt that Dongfang Bubai was acting strangely. He hadn't even made a move yet, so who was he trying to impress with this fighting stance?
But considering the purpose of her visit today, Yaoyue didn't dwell too much on Dongfang Bubai's current situation. Instead, she casually flicked her long sleeves behind her back and slowly said, "I have already received that storybook."
Seeing that Yaoyue did not take action immediately, but instead brought up the storybook, Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow.
With the same flow of true energy as Yaoyue, he lightly flicked his sleeve and said, "This sect leader has also received the storybook that you had the disciples of Yihua Palace deliver."
Finally, Dongfang Bubai added, "Heh, Heartbreaker, only a stupid woman like you could come up with such a name."
Faced with Dongfang Bubai's disdainful words, Yaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly, but returned to normal in the next instant.
Taking in Yaoyue's expression at this moment, Dongfang Bubai slightly raised his face.
"Something's not right about this woman."
Based on Dongfang Bubai's understanding of Yaoyue, in the past, when such obviously sarcastic words were uttered, Yaoyue's expression would already begin to turn cold.
But today, he seemed completely indifferent.
Something unusual must be going on. Sensing Yaoyue's unusual behavior today, Dongfang Bubai stopped talking and said first, "Don't tell me that you came all the way from Yushui City just to say this nonsense?"
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue chuckled and said, "Of course. After reading the storybook you sent over last night, I suddenly thought of a way to give you a return gift."
Dongfang Bubai remained silent, watching Yaoyue quietly, waiting for her to continue.
Upon seeing this, Yaoyue's lips curled into a smile.
Under the moonlight, which was like a light veil, the beauty and coolness of the moon itself had a touch of sacredness.
However, in Dongfang Bubai's eyes, Yaoyue's expression at this moment clearly carried a hint of mockery.
This scene caused Dongfang Bubai to feel a vague sense of unease.
However, before Dongfang Bubai could dwell on this uneasy feeling, Yaoyue's voice slowly entered his ears.
"He is already mine."
Upon hearing the voice, Dongfang Bubai frowned.
Similar words had been said many times by Yaoyue and even Dongfang Bubai over the past month.
Therefore, when faced with what Yaoyue said, Dongfang Bubai instinctively prepared to retort with a sarcastic remark.
But as the words were about to come out, Dongfang Bubai's expression suddenly changed.
In Yaoyue's opinion, although Dongfang Bubai was a woman with big breasts but no brains and who liked beauty and hated ugliness, she was not the kind of person who would be so bored as to travel thousands of miles to her Sun Moon Cult just to argue with her.
Unless, of course, what Yue said now was not just a playful remark during a banter.
Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai also thought of the slightly awkward movement that Yaoyue had made when she took that first step.
Being in the Sun Moon Cult, a place where all sorts of people gather, before she became the cult leader, Dongfang Bubai, though not yet mired in trouble, was not the ignorant young lady from a prominent family.
Moreover, as a martial artist and a woman herself, and having previously studied medical principles for a period of time due to meridian issues, Dongfang Bubai naturally knew about the matter.
Based on what Yaoyue said and her awkward movements just now, Dongfang Bubai knew exactly what the reason was.
In an instant, Dongfang Bubai suddenly understood why he had had a vague sense of unease since yesterday.
The last time I felt this unease was because of Yaoyue.
And this time, it's still about inviting the moon.
However, the difference is that last time, it was Dongfang Bubai who discovered that Yaoyue had slipped into Chu Qinghe's courtyard while he was away.
This time, Yaoyue took advantage of his absence to raid his base, effectively cutting off his supply lines.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai's face turned extremely gloomy almost instantly.
As his true energy surged wildly from his body, a chilling killing intent filled his gaze as he looked at Yaoyue.
